I went outside to start my car to warm it up, I live in michigan and this happened during winter so it was between 15-25 degrees that night. I closed the door after I got out of my stationary vehicle, and the sunroof shattered. I did not close it hard, I do not slam my car doors. There was no chips or cracks in the sunroof previous to it shattering. I read online about nissan having a recall for their sunroofs in another vehicle, something about faulty glass temperment and/or they used a thinner glass to save money.

My car was parked in my driveway. I got into it to go to work, and when I shut the driver's side door the sunroof shattered on top of me. I got out of the car to look at the damage. The sunroof looked warped upward in a couple places, and it was shattered. When I closed the door again, even more of it fell into my car. (I live in texas. There was a slight frost on my front windshield but that's all. The weather alone could not have caused my tempered glass sunroof to crack and shatter.)
